Did you replace Dr. Ray Peat after he died or are you living gurulessly? (pls include serviceable rayplacements)

No one has steered me back to my own self guidance better than Ray. Every week I go back to his articles and interviews with him. The politics and science ones the last few weeks. Ray taught people how to pay attention to themselves and care about your own perception/perspective.
Gurus tell you how to do what they are doing. Which can be very helpful! But also slightly wrong, and than you don’t know when to correct.
I think Georgi is the next best thinker to Ray fallowed by Kathleen Stewart and maybe T3uncoupled and Anabology gets an honorable mention for Synergizing weight loss information better than almost anyone.
I wouldn’t do half the things any of these people recommend but I like thinking about all these people’s ideas.
I think T3ucoupled deserves credit for being an artist. All the health people out there are severely lacking in creative thinking, larger consciences magical thinking like Ray had. Talking to cats and ants… yep. That shit is real as unsweet oj giving you a stomach ache. And no one talks about it. Old grow forest being The Way! Painting! We need to be painting and playing music and making art.

RP died while doing interviews into his 80s. Georgi and the other names are too young. I require an elderly guru
Peter Rogers has some similar quirks and he's 61. He answers questions that Ray would answer like is this or that "safe." I found myself watching his youtubes even though his diet is humanly impossible and I realized that I was using him to replace Ray because I got used to Ray being around.
@samson That my opinion too. Ray's a product of an environment that doesn't exist
@Hando-Jin Tom Cowan is old enough but he's not quirky enough. Everything about him screams normal. I bet he likes watching football games and spending time with his grand kids. Not workable

Agreed.
I'm trying to have a distributed guru now, i.e., learning from experts in different fields/arts and then assembling puzzles myself, but somehow with Ray in mind... Perceive. Think. Act...

I checked 2 of her interviews out. She seems really smart and I'm glad you mentioned her but I can't replace the great wise old man Dr. Ray Peat with what appears to be a 19 year old woman. I think people here are more flexible than I am (well good for you then
)Georgi is great but he's too young and he's so busy that he only has time to guru at stop lights on the way to his day job.
Danny Roddy is far too young and in all honesty he's not confident enough to inspire confidence. It's an issue.
Some people have mentioned reading and listening to Ray's old stuff and that's great but things change and the next covid type event will need someone still with us.

Michael Hudson is a good modern voice on economics. Especially the book "Superimperialism" discussing the US-oriented structure of the international monetary system, how IMF "aid" is predatory lending, etc. But not a crackhead arguing for a reactionary return to commodity money a la bitcoin. More so a sovereign generation of credit.
The rapid-fire speech and encyclopedic knowledge in older age, and the resolute opinionated dissolution of a subject traditionally thought of as inscrutable and meaningless ("modern monetary theory" -- scientific nutrition) strike me as Peaty.
-
@Rah1woot Superabundance is a pretty decent book about economics too
-
@Peatful it's awesome that you had actual correspondence with him, I suppose I'm a bit more sensitive of ascribing a portion of health or biology to his name due to what happened with the toxinforum, I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a bit triggering to watch.
Regardless he changed my life with his analysis of William Blake. Take any nutrition/lifestyle advice aside that article alone changed the way I look at things in general drastically. -

I think this is everyone mentioned:
You should also include Peat's bibliography which is probably over 100 authors/scientists and thousands of books and papers. Somebody posted the library link on here. My "guru" list was satire. There aren't gurus, or they're mostly scam artists. But there are teachers, experts, and explorers.

@herenow Peatbot!

@Rah1woot Thanks, my friend.

@herenow if you see Peat as a Guru you didn't understand him and should revisit his work and interviews. What he wanted is give you the ability to fend for yourself and never follow anyone.

I'd like to see more art here: Sketch thread

I remember so clearly the day word spread that Ray Peat was eating oat bran. So it shall be written oats are safe and the community started eating oats. The new doctrine from mount Eugene carved out a starch exemption and at the time I would have said I'll never eat oats but I ended up eating oats.
To me that's a guru but he's was different things to different people. I see some people find the word objectionable but it's sooo much fun to say. After a while you'll be saying it for no reason at all.

It makes me a little sad but that's probably the future.
Was Ray Peat as afraid of lawsuits as Peatbot? That's some disclaimer lol
